Girl Founders Council - Focus Group - Founders and Builders Session 5

Fri, Aug 28, 10:00 PM

From Girl Founders Council - Get Further Together

**Location:** Boyd Community Hub - Principal's Office **Session**: 5!!! **Spots:** 6 maximum *We are at the early stages! Come help us figure out what it becomes.* The Founders Council is a weekly gathering for women in Melbourne's south-east who are building something — a business, a side project, a creative practice, an idea that keeps coming back. It is not just a networking event. It is not a workshop. It is a council — a small room of women who show up weekly (or help out the one-off joiners to the group) to give and receive honest input from people who are in the same season of building but might be doing it alone. You will meet other girls who are building something too, let's help each other out with whatever each of us is working on. Share your inputs and ideas. Because I believe we have so many skills and pieces of knowledge that can help the person next to you. This can be your accountability group come when you can, touch base and keep yourself accountable with what you planned to build. **Session 4 will run like this:** We will start with a quick round of names and what everyone is working on — thirty seconds each. Then the council opens. Anyone who wants to bring something gets fifteen minutes — a problem, a decision, a pitch to test, something they need honest eyes on. (You can also treat this as your accountability group where in your 15 minutes you can share what your plan is for this week. Then come again next week to check in and plan the next week) The group responds. Not with prescriptive advice. With real honest reactions from people who get it. We close with each person naming one thing they are doing before next week. That is it. That is the accountability. Then the last thirty minutes are open — coffee, conversation, the kind of talk that only happens when the room is right. **You do not have to share anything.** Come and contribute to the group. Listen. Give your perspective on someone else's problem. That seat is just as valuable as any other. **Others you could find here:** Women aged 20+ in Melbourne who are actively building something. Early stage, side hustle, just an idea — all welcome. The only thing that connects everyone in the room is that you are building and you want to be around others who are doing the same. **What to bring:** Yourself. Coffee. Optionally — one thing you are working on or stuck on that you would like the group's eyes on. **Spots are limited to 6.** Small by design. The council only works when the room is small enough for everyone to have the time to share and get the response. *This is a weekly event. Come once or come every week — no commitment required. The door is always open.* Started by Veronika — Building an app for couples, and someone who started this group because she needed it and could not find it.

Melbourne Startup Networking: Real Problems, Real Answers, After Work

Fri, Sep 11, 8:00 AM

From Startup Networking & Founder Ecosystem | Melbourne

Join founders, investors and tech talent at this curated **startup networking event in Melbourne.** Meet ambitious builders, exchange ideas and discover new opportunities in a dynamic community environment. **RSVP: [Use this link](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/melbourne-startup-networking-real-problems-real-answers-after-work-tickets-1997946739481?aff=oddtdtcreator)** **Please note that RSVP is managed via Eventbrite to control attendee lists — don’t ignore it to avoid issues with on-site payment.** You don't need permission to enter the startup world. You need one working session. The way into a founding team isn't an application — it's being visibly useful to someone who's stuck. This evening is built exactly for that: founders bring the problems they can't crack, and the room works on them together, five people at a time. **🎯 WHAT YOU GET OUT OF IT** Pricing, first hires, distribution, retention, churn — the things you've already solved at your job are exactly what's on the board tonight. Being the person who unlocks that conversation is how operators end up as co-founders, advisors and first hires. And you bring your own problem too: everyone here is both client and consultant. Yours can be "should I leave my job for a startup" — that's a real problem and the room has opinions worth hearing. **⚙️ HOW THE EVENING RUNS** Everyone submits one problem before the event, so the board is full when you arrive. The room votes, tables form — five people, one problem at a time. Two minutes to explain it, three minutes of questions only, eight minutes while the table works on it out loud and the author takes notes without defending. Halfway through, a second vote: the problems that didn't make the first round get their turn. **⏰ BUILT AROUND A WORKDAY** Doors at 7, structured part done by 9:10, bar open after. Home when you want. **🎤 NOBODY LEAVES WITH NOTHING** Near the end the host asks who still has no answer, and the room finds them a contact — by name, out loud. **🤝 MUTUAL MATCHES ONLY** You mark who you'd work with, we connect when it's mutual, within 48 hours. No cold lists, no awkward follow-ups. **📋 ONE THING IS REQUIRED BEFORE YOU COME** After booking you'll get a three-minute form in our [Mini App:](https://ascentvalley.com/community "https://ascentvalley.com/community") your problem in one line, some context, how long it's been unresolved. Only submitted problems make the board. **👥 WHO'S IN THE ROOM** Product, engineering, GTM and sales operators · solo founders looking for a commercial or product partner · builders exploring their next move · founders with teams who came to solve something specific. Hosted by **Andrew Krylow.** He greets every guest at the door, seats you at the right table, and makes the introductions. WHAT'S GUARANTEED: a curated room, two working sessions, mutual matches within 48 hours. WHAT WE DON'T PROMISE: a room full of investors. Some evenings have angels and scouts, some don't — better you know before you buy. Three rules said out loud: what's said here stays here · we share experience, not advice · switching tables mid-session is normal. Registration required. Contacts saved through the Ascent Valley Mini App inside Telegram — no new account. Ascent Valley — a founder and investor ecosystem across 20+ cities.

September Community Night - Christian Azuero and Paul Dart

Tue, Sep 1, 7:30 AM

From Melbourne OT Cybersecurity Community Night

4.9

Hello friends, This month we will (finally!) be an entirely standalone community event, not for profit and volunteer run. We have booked a large event space in the Multicultural Hub across from Vic Market. We are seeking a pizza / beer sponsor. **We can also really use additional volunteers to watch the door, help carry in food and drinks, or help with set up or clean up. Please send us a message if you're able to help.** This event will survive if people are involved and want to make it survive! Cheers, Lesley **Talk 1:** Oil Under Attack: War, Cyber Threats, and Global Energy Security This session explores how modern conflicts are reshaping global energy security by targeting oil and refinery infrastructure through both physical and cyber means. It examines how refinery process works, and how industrial control systems (ICS) within refineries, including SCADA, PLCs, and legacy protocols, can be disrupted or manipulated to create real-world consequences such as production outages, safety incidents, and supply chain instability. By drawing parallels with hands-on OT lab environments, the session demonstrates how attackers can impact critical processes, and how defenders can detect abnormal behaviors across IT and OT networks. It highlights the importance of bridging cybersecurity practices with operational realities to protect critical energy infrastructure in an era of hybrid warfare. **Speaker:** Christian Azuero is a cybersecurity specialist and Technical System Consultant at BMM Testlabs with over five years of experience across firewall auditing, threat detection, DFIR, and regulatory compliance. He designs hands-on Blue-Team and CTF learning environments, including the Hacker Escape Room platform used by students and cybersecurity communities across Australia. Christian holds an MSc in Network & Security from Monash University and multiple industry certifications, and is passionate about making cybersecurity and OT education accessible, practical, and fun. **Talk 2:** Introduction to Railways Railways are one of the few areas of critical infrastructure that actively invites the general public into their facilities, but despite most people having travelled on a train, few people understand the systems that control them. This talk assumes no prior railway knowledge and will give you an introduction to how train control works and include some of the speaker's anecdotes from working on both the design and cyber specialist sides of the fence for suppliers, clients and consultancies. **Speaker:** Paul Dart is a chartered engineer who now focuses on cyber security. He started his career in radio and communications engineering. Now everything is just computers speaking to each other he moved to cyber security and has delivered from boardroom to ballast across a variety of railway systems.
